Delaware state Sen. Sarah McBride has officially launched a bid to become the first transgender person to be elected to U.S. Congress.<\/a><\/p>\n

McBride already became<\/a> the first-ever transgender state senator in the U.S. after winning election to the Delaware Senate in 2020. The activist-turned politician, 32, argues there needs to be more diverse representation in Congress.<\/p>\n

“It’s clear that diversity in government is necessary for us to not just ensure we have a healthy democracy but also to truly deliver for people,” McBride told Delaware Online.<\/p>\n

“I am certainly cognizant of the uniqueness of my candidacy, of the uniqueness that my voice would bring to the halls of Congress, but ultimately, I’m not running to be a trans member of Congress,” the candidate added. “I’m running to be Delaware’s member of Congress<\/a> who’s focused on making progress on all of the issues that matter to Delawareans of every background.”<\/p>\n

McBride’s candidacy comes amid a fierce national debate over transgender policies, especially as they relate to minors. Republicans states across the country have passed legislation banning or limiting gender transition services for minors, citing long-term health impacts.<\/p>\n

McBride argues the legislative push is an example of “far-right” extremism.<\/p>\n

“In 2020, I became the first openly trans person elected to serve as a State Senator anywhere in the country. It really felt like America was blazing a path to the future. But since then, the far-right has tried to use the LGBTQ community as a scapegoat for their policy failures,” McBride wrote on Twitter. “As they\u2019ve increased their attacks on families and kids, it has become even clearer: for our democracy to work, it needs to include all of us. If elected, I\u2019ll be the first openly trans member in Congress.”<\/p>\n

McBride is running to fill the seat of Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del.,<\/a> who recently announced she is running for Senate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
